Payne (name)

The surname Payne originates in France and is a variation of the name Payen (Payen; Payens). It is one of the most revered and ancient surnames of the noblesse families of France. The original family lived in Payen, Normandy, where they held family seats in Payen and Dauphine. During the Norman Conquest of England and the great migration, members of this family migrated to England and Europe. It is these ancestors that the generations of Paynes that spread out across the world are descendant from. Upon migrating to England, the Payn's were then granted lands and a family seat in Sussex by Duke William Of Normandy for their distinguished assistance in the battle of Hastings. The first record of Paynes outside France was in England in the Domesday Book shortly after the Norman Conquest. The Paynes are traditionally a Catholic family although many have attempted to draw a loose connection with the Latin paganus = pagan due to the Old English word paien being derived from the Latin word Paganus . There is no hard evidence to support this theory.

History

P.P. Payne was founded in 1911 by Percy Philip Payne, manufacturing cotton tapes for the local textile industry. In the 1950s the business developed Rippatape, the first tear tape based on cotton fibres, used for easy opening of boxes and sacks. P.P. Payne went on to develop self-adhesive tear tapes which became popular for cigarette packaging and was acquired by Bunzl in 1996 as a consequence of the group's growing success in filter production. PP Payne was demerged from Bunzl in 2005 and formed part of the Filtrona group where it was renamed to Payne. In 2010 the company expanded its product portfolio through acquisition of Cardiff-based BP Labels. In early 2013, Filtrona plc completed the acquisition of Contego Healthcare, which was incorporated into the Coated & Security Products Division of the Company.

Ryan (film)

Ryan is a 2004 animated documentary created and directed by Chris Landreth about Canadian animator Ryan Larkin, who had lived on skid row in Montreal as a result of drug and alcohol abuse. Landreth's chance meeting with Larkin in 2000 inspired him to develop the film, which took 18 months to complete. It was co-produced by Copper Heart Entertainment and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), and its creation and development is the subject of the NFB documentary Alter Egos. The film incorporated material from archive sources, particularly Larkin's works at the NFB.

The film is an animated interpretation of an interview of Larkin by Landreth, and includes interviews with Larkin's previous partner and coworkers, as well as Landreth. Development of the characters was partially inspired by the plastinated human bodies of the Body Worlds exhibition. The distorted and disembodied appearance of the film's characters is based on Landreth's use of psychological realism to portray emotion visually, and expression is modelled by use of straight ahead animation. The animation was created at the Animation Arts Centre of Seneca College in Toronto. Some of the animation was based on cords, mathematical equations modelling the physical properties of curves and used to animate filamentous objects in the film. The visual effects of the film has been described by reviewers and film critics as difficult to describe and having a distinctive visceral style.
